Things have picked up a bit so we'll keep playing for a couple more days. Division 4 seems to be beyond resuscitation, however. It's always disappointing when we get some new people signing up who then never come back.

Regarding the format for the league going forward: it would be ideal if we could keep the size of the divisions the same from season to season, but given the fluctuating number of players it's not really feasible. I'll keep it to 6 or 7 in future, and if one of the divisions needs to be bigger I'll make it the bottom one - that might make up for people not turning up.

I really don't want to change to a knock-out/brackets type of tourney - it's too much fannying around, for not very much benefit. If someone else wanted to organise another tournament along those lines I'd sign up, of course!

I'm amused by how happy people are when defeating me. It's kinda touching, really.

That makes three losses so far this season. Good job gents!

It's definitely a compliment from my part. You were the only RPS player I had played against but never beaten. The not so sane part of my mind came up with this idea that you're not actually a person at all but instead you're the AI of a super-computer released to the world just to mess with gamers so people would play less video games.

The in-game tournament system works to my knowledge. We tested it once with a group of 3. There are 3 different types of tournaments you can have (if I can remember correctly) but can't remember what they were exactly.

From what i see however, it only works with staged tournaments (which take ages in FS) and seems to not incorporate an organizer, so most likely a single person not turning up in stage 1 would mean that it is basically over.

Maybe there's something to that. At work when I make a mistake a coworker likes to tell me "So you are human."

I can verify that, tried 2 types myself with some friends.

League type was prone to duplicating identical matchups so player X might be set against player Y 12 times in a row while only playing against player Z twice.

Knockout type worked but as DeVadder warns 1 player not turning up causes major issues. It took a month to get to the third round because of no-shows ... eventually I had to just pester them into turning in a round.

My matches against Bigbobr99 are still on-going and I'm very confident that we'll finish them in a few days.

I tried to log in to UK1 and saw a whopping 87 players online but never got in myself. Then I restarted the game and now I can't see UK1 on the serverlist. I'm assuming it's down. I've never seen a server being down in FS. Does anyone have any experience about these with FS? Just wondering how long it will be until I can start commiting my turns again.

Absolutely. By weekend most likely. Would have been faster if not for the time diffirence.

We're almost pretty much done with DeVadder. I got 4 boxes in one of our games, although in the other he'll end up winning most likely, having a man and box advantage as of last turn. Anyways, we are 1-2 turns away from ending both matches.
